EOP: Further Efforts To Protect Access to Reproductive Healthcare Services

Executive Order from the Office of the President to protect healthcare service delivery and promote access to critical reproductive healthcare services. This order directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to consider issuing guidance for patients seeking legal access to mifepristone, as well as for providers and entities, including pharmacies, that provide reproductive healthcare and seek to legally prescribe and provide mifepristone. This order also directs the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Secretary of HHS to, as appropriate, provide the Interagency Task Force on Reproductive Healthcare Access, potential barriers faced by patients seeking legal access to mifepristone or other reproductive healthcare, recommendations for addressing these barriers, and whether any additional institutional resources may be necessary to address these barriers.
